Sierra Morena

Objectives

Head through the Sierra toward the Great Temple

Walkthrough

Goat Climb up from the top of Santa Luchita to reach the Sierra Morena. It is a snowy, mountain region. You will be immediately greeted by a group of Yellow and Red skeletons, so be careful and take them out. Keep going and you'll run into Jaguar Javier. He'll warn you to stay away, but we'll ignore him for now.

In the next screen use your powers to traverse this large pit. Continue right and you'll run into an Arena. Dispatch the armadillo and cacti, then take out all the Red Skeletons on th balcony and the plants below afterwards. Climb up and you’ll reach yet another Arena.

It starts off simple with some flying enemies. You can kill these guys pretty easily by now. After that you’ll face off against two sets of enemies in different dimensions. Run up the ramp and pass the Checkpoint, and you’ll find a platforming section. Use Goat Climb to pass these challenges.

Slam through the Green blocks, then drop left for some Money. Dash through the barbs on to the platforms. On the last one, Double Jump, Dash, then Rooster Punch to clear it. Slam through the blocks, dash to the Skeletons, them Goat Climb up the wall.

Make your way up the platforms in the next room, dispatching the flying enemies as you go. When you reach the top, head left for an arena containing shielded Bombs. These fellas do tons of damage, so take them out as speedily as possible. Goat Climb up the middle walls to switch sides.

Use Goat Climb to jump between these next pillars. Go all the way to the left side, where you will find the final Choozo Statue. This one will give you the Goat Fly Technique, letting you shoot horizontally from a straight vertical surface. Use it to shoot off and escape the room.

Go to the right and Goat Fly off the wall. You'll fly for a little bit, then continue. Climb up until you reach the Checkpoint, then fly off the wall again. You'll fly for even longer now, clearing a considerable distance.

In this new section, climb up and fly off left again. Land on the opposite wall and Goat Climb up. Once again, Fly off in the opposite direction, not minding the Red Skeletons. Goat Climb up the very high wall and hit the Checkpoint.

Fly off this next wall, then Switch Dimensions to avoid the obstructing pillars along the way. This will shoot you way across the map, and you'll meet the swarthy Jaguar Javier on the other side. Follow him until he finally challenges you, and get ready for the hardest fight in the entire game.

If you haven't mastered the Dodge by this point, you're in for a rough time. Use and abuse this technique as much as you can to avoid his attacks. His pillar of flame is undodgable, so stand back when he's starting to cast it. The Headbutt is the most damaging Special Move, so use that when you can. Protip: After using a Special Attack, you can immediately dodge to cut the Recovery time.

When you've bested Javier and proven your manhood, continue down the path and meet Uay Chivo on the road. He'll give you directions on how to proceed, and advise that you go back and do some collecting before advancing. You'll be entering the final stretch soon, so go consult the Collectibles page and power up before heading to the Final Boss.
